Study on Cultural Adaptability of Presumed Consent Principle in Organ Donation

器官捐献推定同意原则作为获取器官的法律体系之一,在实践中取得了一定成效,但在伦理、法律方面也备受争议,有学者对中国文化背景下实施推定同意表示担忧。为了明确器官捐献推定同意原则是否适合中国文化土壤,通过对推定同意类型和推定同意与知情同意以及与尊重自主伦理原则关系的研究,认为中国文化中存在促进器官捐献的积极因素,在国家法律的规制和推动下,器官捐献推定同意原则在中国文化语境中也可以发挥促进器官捐献的积极作用。

The presumed consent principle in organ donation as one of the legal systems to obtain organs has achieved some success in practice. However, it is controversial in the ethical and legal aspects. Some Chinese scholars express concern about the implementation of presumed consent in the context of Chinese culture. In order to explicit whether the principle of presumed consent in organ donation is suitable for the Chinese culture, this pa- per considered that there are positive factors in promoting organ donation in Chinese culture through the study of the relationship among the types of presumed consent, the presumed consent and informed consent and the ethical prin- ciple of respect for autonomy. Under the regulation and promotion of state law, the principle of presumed consent can also play the positive role in promoting organ donation in the context of Chinese cuhure.
